WWE Legends lineup for SNME 2024 is taking shape

According to a recent WrestleVotes Radio episode, the promotion is considering a nostalgic tribute to the inaugural episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event, which originally aired nearly 40 years ago at the same Long Island, New York arena.

Multiple legends are in discussion for an appearance including the uber-popular Hulk Hogan, former Women’s Champion Wendi Richter, and Cowboy Bob Orton, Hogan’s opponent from the first Saturday Night’s Main Event.

“Specifically, we are hearing those names could include former WWF Women’s Champion Wendi Richter, who defeated the Fabulous Moolah that night, along with bringing in the two participants from the WWF Championship match that evening, which saw the immortal Hulk Hogan defeat Cowboy Bob Orton.

It’s worth noting that Jimmy Hart is already booked for this show, as was reported elsewhere, which could indeed signal that the Hulkster isn’t that far behind. We are hearing that WWE has discussed calling in specific legends, not just the same old [names].”

Hall of Fame manager Jimmy Hart, a longtime associate of Hulk Hogan, is reportedly confirmed to make an appearance at the upcoming event. Jesse Ventura is also expected to play a role, providing commentary for one or more of the matches.

Ahead of the highly anticipated return of the SNME next week in Long Island, New York. The Stamford-based promotion recently announced their plans for the second edition of SNME next month.

The promotion announced via a press release that the second edition of SNME will take place on Saturday, January 25 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. The event will be just one week before the 2025 Royal Rumble which is scheduled for February 1st in Indianapolis.
